Abstract

A cable connecting mechanism (14) for a bicycle component includes a cable connecting unit (70) having a fastener opening (74) and a fastener (78) disposed in the fastener opening (74). The fastener (78) includes a head (82) and a shank (83) including a locking portion (86) disposed in the fastener opening (74) and a threaded portion (90) disposed between the head (82) and the locking portion (86) so that a space (94) for receiving a cable therein is formed between the locking portion (86) and the head (82). A locking member (98) is disposed at the locking portion (86) of the fastener (78) for locking the fastener (78) to the cable connecting unit (70).
